Keon Coleman Receives Hilarious Birthday Gifts From Bills Hall of Fame WR

It is very important to make a good first impression.

And that’s exactly what Keon Coleman did days after being selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 2024 NFL Draft. The former Florida State Seminole showed off his genuine nature, love of smart shopping and eagerness to welcome his new team in the post-draft media frenzy, winning over the Buffalo faithful with jokes about his modestly priced Macy’s jacket, his consumption of Wegman’s chocolate chips. cookies, and his contact with Hall of Fame wide receiver Andre Reed to better familiarize himself with his new franchise.

He made a lasting first impression, as Bills Mafia quickly adopted him. They painted his now-iconic Macy’s jacket on a Stefon Diggs mural in downtown Buffalo, started selling merchandise that compared the rookie to the Cookie Monster – even Reed himself, who is the leader of them all Buffalo’s times in the most important receiving statistics, took this behavior. him, showing up to surprise Coleman with several (appropriate) birthday gifts at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles.

Coleman’s impact on Buffalo fans – and his team’s alumni – is evident; he hopes to have a similar impact on the field in his rookie season, as he figures to play a prominent role in the Bills receiving corps that lost Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis in the offseason. The 6-foot-3 wideout, who caught 50 passes for 658 yards and 11 touchdowns in his lone season with the Seminoles, should immediately serve as Buffalo’s “X,” or primary outside receiver.
